Milan president Scaconi is impressed with Divock Origi and Yacine Adli and expects ‘important things’ in the market in the coming days.
The Rossoneri have returned to training and, by Friday, Stefano Pioli will have the whole squad available at Milanello.
“We’ve had a few fantastic weeks after winning the Scudetto. We all remember the four-and-a-half hours on the bus, surrounded by a never-seen-before crowd of celebrating fans,” President Scaroni told Milan TV.
“Today at Milanello, I found a lot of enthusiasm. I met coach Pioli, who is always on fire even now. Almost all the players are here, the last ones who were with their national teams are returning. Everyone will be here by Friday.”
The Rossoneri have signed Origi and Adli, but more new faces are expected to join the Serie A champions in the coming days.
Milan are in talks with Club Brugge for Charles De Ketelaere, but Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech is also on the club’s radars. The Rossoneri are looking for a new centre-back, but their priority is to bolster Pioli’s options in attack.
“Maldini and Massara have been working on the market since July 1 and will continue to carry out their strategies and projects, I am sure important things will happen in the coming days,” said Scaroni.
“We are impressed with the type of men Origi and Adli are. That’s the best sign that they will settle in well here because, as we’ve all seen, settling into an enthusiastic team composed of people helping each other was the key to Milan’s success last season and will be the key to the success we hope to achieve next season.”
The Rossoneri were eliminated from the Champions League group stage last season and Scaroni hopes to see the team play in the Round of 16 of Europe’s elite competition in 2022-23.
“One minimum objective is to go beyond the group stage in the Champions League, which would be a great success for me. Obviously, if we go further even better. We are optimistic, we are confident and the team is ready. There are all the ingredients to do well.”
Milan beat Lemine Almenno 3-0 in their first summer friendly on Wednesday and have scheduled four more friendly encounters before the start of the new Serie A season against Udinese on August 13.
I’m completely confident I will come out of this window satisfied with the business done. Origi and Adli already in, Pobega coming back into the fold, the same transfer team who bought bargain after bargain for the last few years. Happy days.
@BB milan i hope pioli and madinni will not start crying again the way they do last season
@Inter for ever
